One week left to guarantee your Colour Rush t-shirt!
While we sell tickets right up until the day, today is your last chance to guarantee you'll get a t-shirt in your size.
We do our best to predict how many t-shirts to order each year, but with nearly a month lead time needed for printing, we have to place our final order soon. We are committed to reduce waste, which means we order more carefully - but it also means we can't guarantee sizes for last-minute ticket buyers.
We also encourage people to hunt down the most ridiculous charity shop t-shirt they can find to wear instead - reduce, reuse, and look absolutely brilliant while you're at it!
If you don't want to miss out on your Colour Rush gear, get your tickets now to secure your T-shirt!

Double-booked as usual, at least I managed a short stint at the Three Crowns Devizes, to catch Rubydarbyshiremusic and Rachel and Jolyon.......
Rude to walk into an event sporting another event wristband but the welcome was friendly as ever at the Three Crowns in Devizes. It’s mid-afternoon, Park Farm Festival’s shuttle bus too…

It's getting hot in herre... but don't take off all your clothes 🙈
Pat Ward and Ben Borrill aka Match Box Mutiny were literally burning down the house at Three Daggers Pub, Brewery, Farm Shop, Rooms & Spa last night. Red tape kept them inside on this sunny eve, but it was worth every sweaty minute (so long as you sat outside the 'splash zone').
If you havent already, please do go check these two out in the music mecca of Devizes or surrounding towns/villages.

What is Devizine all about?
I ask myself that very question. As the name suggests, we’re based in Devizes and therefore we aim to keep features as local as possible. The second half of the title relates to the ethos we operate with, taking the underground self-published zines of yore to universal appeal, we don’t take subject matter too rigidly and freely write about whatever we wish!
That said, primarily Devizine strives to inform, promote and engage, in magazine-styled lifestyle topics from performing arts, music, art, literature, sports, local community affairs and fundraising efforts. We generally steer clear of national headlines and political standings, but sometimes dabble in local politics for local elections and news stories, provided we feel it would be of interest to our readers.
We have the most comprehensive event guide in the area, from a jumble sale to all out mud-fest! We review and preview events, as well as local recorded music, art and anything else we like the sound of! We will interview local creative people, people making a difference to our community. We also enjoy a spoof now and then, and critical satire is welcomed.
We are always on the lookout for new writers and photographers to join our small team. We are always looking out for news stories. We network through social media on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We also have a YouTube channel to post videos of our outings. We support music sites which give the artist a good deal, such as Bandcamp, and we strive to share articles from bloggers doing similar to us.
There are many methods to let us know what you’d like to see included, to feed us a scoop. If you’ve something you’d like us to consider please get in touch. We have an email [email protected] also have contact forms on the website, and we have a small Facebook group for pitching ideas called The Devizine Communications Group. We are non-profit-making, but we do require some funds to keep the website running and cover some costs, so, we offer low cost advertising, only asking for a donation, and advertise all charities, charity fundraising events or school events free.
Over the past couple of years, we have built a strong and respected reputation with our local theatre, arts and music scenes, we work with organisers and artists to showcase them in the best manner possible and we aim to produce a printed version, free to the end user as soon as feasible. Devizine has become a much-loved media outlet for our area, and is spoken of highly.
This makes me proud, Devizine is my baby! Most of all though, it’s about publishing content people want to read, and having fun. It is still a hobby, I do not allow WordAds to feed you spam and popups, we do not spam our mailing list rather send one weekly roundup. We are a network and look forward to hearing how we can help you.
